Four starts – two in the playoffs – does not a Pro Bowler make.

Four NFL starts means that there remain more questions than answers about a player. But the New Orleans Saints like the left tackle who’s taking the test for them.

Terron Armstead was a mostly inactive, little-used, rookie reserve from Arkansas-Pine Bluff when he got the call to start at left tackle in Week 16, on the road against Carolina. But in the final four games, including playoffs, the Saints ran the ball 30.5 times for 129.3 yards per game, and scored four rushing touchdowns.

Contrast that with this: During the regular season, in the 14 games Armstead didn’t start, the team averaged 89.2 rushing yards per game on 23.6 carries per game, and scored eight rushing touchdowns.
